About the Item

Peter Knapp’s “In a Whirl of Caprice”, an “Artist Choice” 1/5 edition pull, is a 18.25 x 14.5 color woodcut with a walnut finished frame in black, green, and purple on Okawara Japanese Paper. A Signature Member of the Copley Society, Knapp’s abstract fine art print explores rhythmic structural graphic movement. This work is a technically complex color woodcut printed in 2022 at First Proof Press in Brattleboro, Vermont. The artist utilized four separate woodblocks to construct the image: a black key block for structural definition, a light green background block, a darker green textural pattern block, and an accent block in purple. Part of a small edition of five, this specific print is the "Artist Choice" number 1/5. The use of Cranfield Caligo Inks on Okawara Japanese Paper allows for a saturation of color that is breathable and atmospheric. Presented behind plexiglass in a 27 x 23 x 1 inch walnut finish frame, the work explores the tension between architectural rigidity and the spontaneous "whirl" of imagination. Signed, titled, and dated by the artist on the bottom border.
